Current Week:
Twelve Events will start, and 6 of them will be No Limit Hold’em tournaments; from $1k – $5k buy ins;
It’ll be an interesting week with the introduction of two new styles. We’ll see a turbo no limit hold’em tournament and a 4-handed no limit hold’em tournament, along with the usual shootout no limit hold’em and six-handed tournaments. Way to serve it up with a new flavor!
